Jake Gyllenhaal’s new film feels like a cross between Quantum Leap and Speed.

Directed by Duncan Jones who brought us the brilliant but ever so slightly weird Moon this features Gyllenhaal reliving the last 8 minutes before a commuter train explodes.

Released April 1st this is going to be one of the years’ top thrillers. Going deeper into the plot Gyllenhaal plays Colter Stevens a solider who is transported into the body of one of the soon to be dead passengers via some funky technology called the source code.

Also thrown into the mix is Christina (Michelle Monaghan), a passenger on the train who Colter falls for, I mean as if you haven’t got enough to do in 8 minutes.

He only has the alloted time to track down the terrorist and report back to Vera Farmiga and Jeffrey Wright before another attack somewhere else in the city happens.

Of course selflessly Colter tries to do too much, what with saving his new found love interest things start to change subtly each time he goes back…sounds exciting.

The trailer below certainly has a lot of explosions and effects, one hopes the acting lives up to it as well or the film could really end up a train crash.
